The King James version of the Bible has been hijacked by gay activists who want to rewrite history. Anonymous editors have published a Bible "friendly to gays," and have edited eight major verses to fit their narrative. The "Queen James Bible" is available on Amazon and is described as, "A Gay Bible. The Queen James Bible is based on The King James Bible, edited to prevent homophobic misinterpretation." The description and reasoning for the changes is below.

Why We Chose the King James Version

We chose the 1769 form of the King James Bible for our revision for the following reasons: 1. The obvious gay link to King James, known amongst friends and courtiers as “Queen James” because of his many gay lovers.

2. No Bible is perfect, but everyone knows the King James Bible; It is arguably the most popular Bible in history and the basis of many other translations.

3. Most English Bible translations that actively condemn homosexuality have based themselves on the King James Version and have erroneously adapted its words to support their own agenda. We wanted to return to the clean source and start there.

4. Some claim the language of the KJV is antiquated, but we believe it is poetic, traditional, and ceremonial. Christianity is an ancient tradition, and the King James and resultant Queen James versions remind us and keep us connected to that tradition. What We Changed

The Bible says nothing about homosexuality. However, there might be no other argument in contemporary faith as heated as what the Bible is interpreted to say about homosexuality.

The Bible is the word of God translated by man. This (saying nothing countless translations and the evolution of language itself) means the Bible can be interpreted in different ways, leading to what we call “interpretive ambiguity.” In editing The Queen James Bible we were faced with the decision to modify existing interpretively ambiguous language, or simply to delete it.

There are problems with removal of verses: • It doesn’t address the problem of interpretive ambiguity, it only brushes it under the rug. • It renders an incomplete Bible. • Revelation says not to “edit the book,” and people often extend that to mean the entire Bible, not just the book of Revelation.

We also refused to just say “that’s outdated” and omit something. Yes, things like Leviticus are horribly outdated, but that doesn’t stop people from citing them. We wanted our Bible bulletproof from the ones shooting the bullets.

There are also problems with editing verses:

• The context, idiom, and grammar from the time are almost impossible to recreate. • Changes could further create interpretive ambiguity.

Many versions of the Bible translated and published since the King James Bible have changed the language, so the precedent had been set for editing. Furthermore, both problems with editing are easily addressed by deciding to make the edits as simple as possible.

We edited the Bible to prevent homophobic interpretations.

Although these editors are correct when they say the Bible is for interpretation, it is important to understand that interpretation isn't the same thing as rewriting history or changing scripture.

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Got a funny one for you.
I know a homofem that is in seminary. Don’t ask, ‘cuz I don’t know.

Anyway, she was explaining the account of Lott’s wife.
See, Lott’s wife cared so much about the people of Sodom and Gomorrah that she couldn’t help but look back in compassion as they were destroyed.
To reward her compassion, God made her into a pillar, as in a “pillar of the community”, as a monument to her love and compassion for people.

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." NIV

"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." ESV

" a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." KJV

English (KJV), Strong's #, Root Form (Hebrew), Tense

If a man h376 איש 'iysh

also lie h7901 שכב shakab

with mankind, h2145 זכר zakar

as he lieth h4904 משכב mishkab

with a woman, h802 אשה 'ishshah

both h8147 שנים shĕnayim

of them have committed h6213 עשה `asah

an abomination: h8441 תועבה tow`ebah [

they shall surely h4191 מות muwth

be put to death; h4191 מות muwth

their blood h1818 דם dam

[shall be] upon them.

The Septuagint,["Septuagint (sometimes abbreviated LXX) is the name given to the Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures. The Septuagint has its origin in Alexandria, Egypt and was translated between 300-200 BC."] reads like this:

Messing with God’s word is worse than playing with fire ! Even though I teach part time college classes, I will not teach the Word since I would be afraid of saying something wrong where I can cause someone to be mislead. And teachers of the Word are held to very high standards and I know I don’t meet them.

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

This is why I could not vote for a Mormon or a homosexual for that matter who "edits" God's Word.

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both men shall be adored by everyone. They will be displayed on the silver screen and make millions and millions of dollars; their blood will be mixed with other blood and banked." NGV

When will there be an alcoholic Bible with no reference to drunkenness? Of course once you’re drunk there’s probably a lot of other things you’d have to erase from the Bible. Also, nobody really wants to read when they’re drunk. Okay, maybe an alcie Bible isn’t a good idea.
